DIY Shredded Love

When I first saw Tarina Tarantino's collaboration with Hello Kitty I knew I needed one.  About 5 years ago while shopping at Pioneer Place in Portland, OR, I laid eyes on this fabulous ring!  At that time my hair even resembled the pink bob that Pink Head Hello Kitty is sporting.  I knew I had to get it.  Today, it's still in great condition and always makes me smile when I wear it.

I've seen a lot of bloggers make their own shredded tanks/tops/dresses/shorts.  I mentioned to Eli I was going to try to make one for myself, but being the thoughtful guy he is, decided to make one for me instead.  He made one for himself too.. check it out here.  It's pretty amazing to have such a talented hubby.  He's my P.I.C. for life... not only my partner.in.crime, but also my partner.in.crafting.  I'm so corny.  :)  The one he made for me came out awesome... and although it's a bit too tight and exposed for my taste, it gives me more reason to start shedding the lbs and lose the fluff!  I'll be starting a new work out soon.  It's pretty intense.  I'm kinda scared, but excited at the same time.   More about that later.
